Bath resealing for Sandy Cross homes

How we handle bath resealing in Sandy Cross

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Sandy Cross

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Sandy Cross

Do you work in Sandy Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandy Cross and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sandy Cross?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Sandy Cross. The price comes down to:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandy Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
