Common questions in Somerley
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What affects the price in Somerley
We charge the same across the UK, including Somerley. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns 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 the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Somerley
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
