Bath resealing near Folke

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Bath resealing in Folke without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat 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 repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Folke customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Folke

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Folke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Folke?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Will there be a smell?

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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