Bath resealing in The Pound, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in The Pound

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in The Pound

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Pound

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in The Pound, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Pound, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
