Bath resealing at your home in Walberton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about bath resealing in Walberton

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Walberton?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN18 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Walberton

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
