What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

What we are called out for in Clopton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Clopton: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Clopton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Clopton and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
