How we handle bath resealing in Rye Foreign
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rye Foreign and across East Sussex.

Landlord and trade work in Rye Foreign
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common questions in Rye Foreign
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Rye Foreign?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rye Foreign. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 usually the cheaper route.
Resealing in Rye Foreign: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
