Trusted bath resealing in Farway

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Farway. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Bath resealing in Farway without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Farway as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

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, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Farway: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Farway?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farway

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Farway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Farway?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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