About our bath resealing in Forncett End

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forncett End

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Forncett End

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Forncett End?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NR16 postcode.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need bath resealing in Forncett End

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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