Bath resealing at your home in Forton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Forton. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Resealing in Forton: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Do you need bath resealing in Forton?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Forton questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
