Trusted bath resealing in Felling

Bath resealing in Felling without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

When to call us in Felling

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Felling questions

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Felling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Felling get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
