Bath resealing in Cratfield

Bath resealing at your home in Cratfield

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cratfield

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Cratfield

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I book?

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cratfield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Cratfield contact us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
