Bath resealing for Hengrave homes

How we handle bath resealing in Hengrave

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Hengrave questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do you cover Hengrave?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hengrave and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hengrave is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Hengrave and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Hengrave

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need bath resealing in Hengrave?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
