What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Your questions about bath resealing in Rustington

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
