Bath resealing in Whitehall

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

About our bath resealing in Whitehall

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whitehall and across West Sussex.

Questions from Whitehall

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How much does bath resealing cost in Whitehall?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH13 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Whitehall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
