Bath resealing at your home in Castle Acre

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Acre

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Castle Acre

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Castle Acre get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Castle Acre

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

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

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Are you accredited?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
