Bath resealing in Farndon without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Farndon
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Farndon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Farndon
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Farndon
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Farndon questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
