Bath resealing near Glemsford

Bath resealing in Glemsford, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glemsford and across Suffolk.

Do you need bath resealing in Glemsford?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Glemsford

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Glemsford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glemsford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Glemsford

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Landlord and trade work in Glemsford

If you manage property in Glemsford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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