Bath resealing for Gedding homes

Do you need bath resealing in Gedding?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

About our bath resealing in Gedding

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, for the same reason.

Questions from Gedding

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you come to Gedding?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gedding and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Resealing in Gedding: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gedding

If you manage property in Gedding, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
