Common questions in Chediston

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Chediston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Chediston?

We do. We send a technician to Chediston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Bath resealing at your home in Chediston

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Chediston

If you manage property in Chediston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Chediston

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Chediston

We don’t charge extra for travel to Chediston. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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