Bath resealing in Knettishall without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Knettishall as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in Knettishall: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Knettishall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
