Bath resealing in Far Forest

Bath resealing in Far Forest, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

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

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

FAQs for Far Forest

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Common problems we fix in Far Forest

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
