Bath resealing at your home in Fernhill
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 regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath resealing in Fernhill?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fernhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Fernhill
Do you cover Fernhill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fernhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
