Resealing in Farley Hill: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Bath resealing in Farley Hill, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Farley Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Farley Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Farley Hill
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
