Your questions about bath resealing in Burgh

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Burgh and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Burgh.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Bath resealing at your home in Burgh

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Burgh

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

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Burgh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Burgh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
