Bath resealing for Saltdean homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

About our bath resealing in Saltdean

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Saltdean as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about bath resealing in Saltdean

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltdean

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltdean use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Saltdean?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Saltdean

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Saltdean. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
