Bath resealing in Boot Street

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we handle bath resealing in Boot Street

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Boot Street

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Boot Street

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Boot Street. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Boot Street?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
