Bath resealing in Oldfurnace

Bath resealing in Oldfurnace, done in place

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. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Oldfurnace

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Oldfurnace?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Oldfurnace from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Oldfurnace included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldfurnace

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldfurnace as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

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 it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Oldfurnace

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Oldfurnace

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

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
