Bath resealing for Buxhall homes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

About our bath resealing in Buxhall

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buxhall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
