Bath resealing at your home in St Leonards
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
St Leonards: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
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 and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Leonards as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Do you need bath resealing in St Leonards?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in St Leonards
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
