Bath resealing in Wivelsfield

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t 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. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Wivelsfield?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Wivelsfield get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Wivelsfield

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wivelsfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 normally cheaper.
