Trusted bath resealing in Fishbourne

How we handle bath resealing in Fishbourne

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fishbourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Common problems we fix in Fishbourne

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fishbourne

If you manage property in Fishbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fishbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Fishbourne. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
