Bath resealing near Icklingham

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, with the joint fully dried first.

When to call us in Icklingham

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Icklingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Icklingham: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
