Bath resealing in Farthing Green

Bath resealing in Farthing Green without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Farthing Green

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Farthing Green

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Farthing Green: your questions answered

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
