Bath resealing in Rock, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Rock
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Rock?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why it’s worth resealing in Rock
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Rock get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Common problems we fix in Rock
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
