About our bath resealing in Belstead

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Belstead and across Suffolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Belstead

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about bath resealing in Belstead

How much does bath resealing cost in Belstead?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Belstead and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What affects the price in Belstead

We do not charge extra for travel to Belstead. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
