Bath resealing near Great Ashfield

Bath resealing in Great Ashfield without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Great Ashfield

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Great Ashfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Ashfield and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP31 postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When to call us in Great Ashfield

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Great Ashfield, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Great Ashfield customers choose us

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Great Ashfield

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Ashfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting 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.
