When to call us in Fakenham Magna

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone

Bath resealing in Fakenham Magna without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fakenham Magna as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms

Questions from Fakenham Magna
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
