Bath Resealing for Sharpthorne homes
Our technicians come to Sharpthorne for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Sharpthorne, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Sharpthorne
There’s no area surcharge for Sharpthorne. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Sharpthorne
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
