Bath resealing for Firsdown homes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing at your home in Firsdown

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Firsdown?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Firsdown: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Firsdown.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
