About our bath resealing in Fairstead
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Fairstead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Fairstead
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

See our prices page.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Fairstead: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fairstead.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
