Bath Resealing in Rye Harbour
We travel to Rye Harbour for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
What we are called out for in Rye Harbour
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal

- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended

About our bath resealing in Rye Harbour
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rye Harbour as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Rye Harbour
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Rye Harbour?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rye Harbour for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does bath resealing cost in Rye Harbour?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rye Harbour
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For a price in Rye Harbour, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Read our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
