Bath resealing in Alby Hill

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

How we handle bath resealing in Alby Hill

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. Whether it’s stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Alby Hill?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alby Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
