About our bath resealing in Bruisyard Street

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bruisyard Street and across Suffolk.

When to call us in Bruisyard Street

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Honest limits

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Your questions about bath resealing in Bruisyard Street

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Bruisyard Street

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Bruisyard Street

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
