Bath resealing near Forton

Bath resealing at your home in Forton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What we do, step by step

On the day, 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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Forton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Forton

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Forton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Forton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
