Questions from Framlingham

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Framlingham?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why it’s worth resealing in Framlingham

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Framlingham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Materials we work on in Framlingham

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

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Framlingham

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:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
