Bath resealing for St Leonards homes

How we handle bath resealing in St Leonards

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath resealing in St Leonards

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
