Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, 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.

Bath resealing in Cretingham, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Questions from Cretingham

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Cretingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cretingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Cretingham

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cretingham

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

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
