Bath resealing for Waterhall homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Waterhall

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

About our bath resealing in Waterhall

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Waterhall get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Waterhall: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Brighton and Hove, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Waterhall?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waterhall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Waterhall

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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