About our bath resealing in Folkingham
All of the old sealant is cut out, 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. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Folkingham questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Folkingham?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why it’s worth resealing in Folkingham
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Folkingham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Folkingham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
