Bath resealing in Fickleshole

About our bath resealing in Fickleshole

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Common questions in Fickleshole

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Fickleshole

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

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
