Bath resealing near Fountain

Bath resealing at your home in Fountain

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fountain

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fountain use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why it’s worth resealing in Fountain

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Fountain

  • Basins & vanity units

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Fountain questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
