Bath resealing for Southwick homes

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing at your home in Southwick

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Southwick

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Resealing in Southwick: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Southwick

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you cover Southwick?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Southwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Southwick. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
