Bath resealing for Tide Mills homes

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Tide Mills, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Tide Mills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tide Mills as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Tide Mills

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you come to Tide Mills?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tide Mills from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tide Mills?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Tide Mills and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
