Bath resealing near Ranfurly

FAQs for Ranfurly

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Bath resealing in Ranfurly without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Ranfurly: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

When to call us in Ranfurly

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Ranfurly. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ranfurly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
