Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Fairoak

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Fairoak included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you need bath resealing in Fairoak?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
