About our bath resealing in Fishpool

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, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about bath resealing in Fishpool

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Fishpool included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fishpool.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fishpool?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Fishpool, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 Fishpool?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book
