Bath resealing near Wilmington

When to call us in Wilmington

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

How we handle bath resealing in Wilmington

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What affects the price in Wilmington

There’s no charge for travel to Wilmington. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilmington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Wilmington

Do you work in Wilmington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wilmington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you accredited?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
