Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we handle bath resealing in Hickling Pastures

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Hickling Pastures. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Hickling Pastures

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hickling Pastures?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LE14 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
