Bath resealing for St Helen's homes

How we handle bath resealing in St Helen's

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Do you need bath resealing in St Helen's?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in St Helen's

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for St Helen's

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover St Helen's?

We do. We send a technician to St Helen's for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN34 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Helen's, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
