About our bath resealing in Kettleburgh

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kettleburgh

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Kettleburgh

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For a price in Kettleburgh, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Kettleburgh: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When to call us in Kettleburgh

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
