Bath resealing in Forhill, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Forhill: why it matters

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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Forhill: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Forhill?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Forhill

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Forhill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Forhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
