Questions from Bow Street

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Bow Street?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Bow Street

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What affects the price in Bow Street

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bow Street. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
