Bath resealing in Grimston without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out 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.

Landlord and trade work in Grimston

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Grimston

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

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

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Grimston

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

What we do, step by step

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 old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Grimston

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Grimston

How long does resealing take?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE14 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
