Bath resealing in Fowley Common

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Fowley Common

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Fowley Common, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Do you need bath resealing in Fowley Common?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Fowley Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Fowley Common questions

How long does a reseal take?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does bath resealing cost in Fowley Common?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
