Bath resealing for Farnborough homes

Do you need bath resealing in Farnborough?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Farnborough

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Farnborough

We charge the same across the UK, including Farnborough. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Farnborough

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Farnborough.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
