Bath resealing near Fordingbridge

About our bath resealing in Fordingbridge

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 resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Fordingbridge

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordingbridge

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Fordingbridge

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Fordingbridge. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
