We travel to Fobbing for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

Bath resealing in Fobbing without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Fobbing. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fobbing. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Fobbing
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
