How we handle bath resealing in East Wretham

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 will not last.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. 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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from East Wretham

How long does a reseal take?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover East Wretham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to East Wretham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Common problems we fix in East Wretham

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

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
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Wretham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
