Bath resealing in Hellesdon

How we handle bath resealing in Hellesdon

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hellesdon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hellesdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hellesdon: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Hellesdon?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hellesdon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Hellesdon

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
