Bath resealing for Stanmer homes

Landlord and trade work in Stanmer

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanmer as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Bath resealing at your home in Stanmer

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.

Resealing in Stanmer: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Stanmer

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Stanmer

Are there extra charges for Stanmer?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Stanmer and the rest of Brighton and Hove. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can you do it?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
