How we handle bath resealing in Far Bank

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How to compare quotes

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Far Bank

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Far Bank: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
