Bath resealing for Farnham homes

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

How we handle bath resealing in Farnham

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in Farnham

Do you cover Farnham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Farnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Farnham

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
