Fontwell: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Fontwell?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Bath resealing in Fontwell without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Fontwell

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fontwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
