Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

FAQs for Southwick

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southwick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Southwick: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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.
