About our bath resealing in Great Hockham

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Great Hockham: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Hockham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
