Bath resealing for Foxton homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing at your home in Foxton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foxton as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Foxton

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Foxton

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Common problems we fix in Foxton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
