About our bath resealing in Fringford

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fringford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Fringford: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Fringford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fringford

  • Baths

Landlord and trade work in Fringford

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.

If you manage property in Fringford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
