About our bath resealing in Alburgh Street

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Alburgh Street

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Alburgh Street.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK, so Alburgh Street is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Common problems we fix in Alburgh Street

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Alburgh Street. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
