Work for landlords and builders

Bath resealing in Foremark, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Foremark

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Foremark

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

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

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
