What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Rottingdean: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Rottingdean?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rottingdean and the rest of Brighton and Hove. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Brighton and Hove.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlord and trade work in Rottingdean

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For a price in Rottingdean, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rottingdean

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
