About our bath resealing in Fernwood

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Fernwood

If you manage property in Fernwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Fernwood. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fernwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Fernwood: why it matters

Your questions about bath resealing in Fernwood

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
