Bath resealing in Forstal, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Forstal: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Forstal. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When to call us in Forstal

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Forstal

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Forstal?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
