When to call us in Farnham Common

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Farnham Common: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Resealing in Farnham Common: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Farnham Common

We charge the same across the UK, including Farnham Common. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
