Bath resealing at your home in Frant

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Resealing in Frant: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When to call us in Frant

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

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, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Questions from Frant

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Frant?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Frant

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
