Bath resealing in Shoreham without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Shoreham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Shoreham: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are there extra charges for Shoreham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Shoreham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shoreham and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shoreham?

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

When to call us in Shoreham

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Shoreham

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Shoreham. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shoreham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Shoreham

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not 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 will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
