About our bath resealing in Friston

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Friston

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Friston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Friston

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Friston?

We do. We send a technician to Friston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Friston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
