Trusted bath resealing in Farnham

Bath resealing in Farnham, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Farnham

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Farnham

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Farnham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you cover Farnham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Farnham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Farnham

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Farnham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
