Questions from Filham

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you come to Filham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Filham and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Filham and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Filham

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Do you need bath resealing in Filham?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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