Bath resealing in Boxford

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Boxford, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When to call us in Boxford

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Boxford contact us are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

FAQs for Boxford

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
