About our bath resealing in Faulkbourne
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and stained silicone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I add another job to the visit?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Faulkbourne
If you manage property in Faulkbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Faulkbourne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath resealing in Faulkbourne?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
