How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Downham West, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Downham West questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Downham West

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Downham West

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Downham West

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
