About our bath resealing in Campsea Ashe

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Campsea Ashe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Campsea Ashe

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Campsea Ashe. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

When can you do it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Campsea Ashe.

Do you need bath resealing in Campsea Ashe?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
