About our bath resealing in Fair Hill

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Fair Hill

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Fair Hill clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Fair Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Fair Hill questions

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Fair Hill

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
