Trusted bath resealing in Fremington

How we handle bath resealing in Fremington

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Fremington

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

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 price the job.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fremington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Common problems we fix in Fremington

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price
