Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LD1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fron. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Fron

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Fron?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fron from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Fron?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does bath resealing cost in Fron?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
