Bath resealing at your home in Small Dole

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Small Dole?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Small Dole

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint 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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Small Dole

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Your questions about bath resealing in Small Dole

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Across the UK, so Small Dole is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Small Dole?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
