Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Buckenham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

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

Buckenham questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Buckenham?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckenham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Buckenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
