How we handle bath resealing in Borley Green

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

When to call us in Borley Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Borley Green: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath resealing in Borley Green

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Borley Green?

We do. We send a technician to Borley Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
