DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle bath resealing in Furzedown

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in Furzedown: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK

When to call us in Furzedown

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
