Bath resealing in Sompting

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Sompting, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and gaps in the seal.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Sompting?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Sompting

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Sompting

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
