Bath resealing near Friday Street

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing at your home in Friday Street

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Friday Street and across Suffolk.

Common problems we fix in Friday Street

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

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

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Friday Street

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
