Bath resealing in Gunthorpe

Bath resealing in Gunthorpe without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Gunthorpe: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you come to Gunthorpe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gunthorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunthorpe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Gunthorpe: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Common problems we fix in Gunthorpe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
