Friar's Wash questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Friar's Wash is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Friar's Wash?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Friar's Wash and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Friar's Wash?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we handle bath resealing in Friar's Wash
A good reseal is all about preparation: 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. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
