Bath resealing in Downham Market, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Downham Market

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you work in Downham Market?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Downham Market

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
