Bath resealing for Filkins homes

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Bath resealing in Filkins, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Filkins questions

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What affects the price in Filkins

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Do you need bath resealing in Filkins?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Filkins as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
