Bath resealing at your home in Fant
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Fant
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant

Questions from Fant
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Fant?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Fant?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Fant from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
