Bath resealing near Worth

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our bath resealing in Worth

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worth

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Worth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Worth

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Worth and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
