How we handle bath resealing in Friar Waddon

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and stained silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Resealing in Friar Waddon: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from Friar Waddon

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you need bath resealing in Friar Waddon?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
