Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Freckenham without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about bath resealing in Freckenham

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Are there extra charges for Freckenham?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Freckenham

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Freckenham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Freckenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
