Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Farnborough, Oxfordshire
We travel to Farnborough for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Farnborough
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Farnborough
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Farnborough. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Farnborough?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Farnborough. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
