Bath resealing for St Leonards homes

About our bath resealing in St Leonards

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in St Leonards

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

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

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

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in St Leonards

  • Basins & vanity units

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Leonards use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to St Leonards. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

St Leonards: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in St Leonards.
