Bath resealing near Ashfield Green

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in Ashfield Green

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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.

Ashfield Green: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Ashfield Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ashfield Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price
