Trusted bath resealing in Alderford

Bath resealing in Alderford, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Alderford

How much does bath resealing cost in Alderford?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you come to Alderford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Alderford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alderford

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need bath resealing in Alderford

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
