How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Leonards use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for St Leonards
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, St Leonards included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Leonards?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HP23 postcode.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Are there extra charges for St Leonards?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
