Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Rye without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Rye

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

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

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Rye: why it matters

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 each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you come to Rye?

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
