Need bath resealing in Badingham?

What we cannot put right

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Badingham, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Badingham?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in Badingham contact us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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.

Badingham questions

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Badingham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Badingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Badingham: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
