Bath resealing for South Chailey homes

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath resealing in South Chailey without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

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 will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in South Chailey

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
