About our bath resealing in Fairy Cross

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Dry the seal after bathing
Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

The old silicone is cut out completely.
Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

What affects the price in Fairy Cross

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

Whether we combine several jobs
How many areas need work
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
What it’s made of, if you know
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Gaps too big for silicone alone

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Fairy Cross: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why it’s worth resealing in Fairy Cross

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
