Bath resealing for Fence homes

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Fence

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

Bath resealing in Fence, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Fence

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Fence

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
