Bath resealing at your home in Forncett St Mary
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Forncett St Mary: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Forncett St Mary
There is no charge for travel to Forncett St Mary. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from Forncett St Mary
Do you work in Forncett St Mary?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Forncett St Mary and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we are called out for in Forncett St Mary
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
