Bath resealing in Aldeburgh

Bath resealing in Aldeburgh without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Aldeburgh: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Aldeburgh?

We do. Technicians travel to Aldeburgh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why it’s worth resealing in Aldeburgh

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
