FAQs for Little Walsingham

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How much does bath resealing cost in Little Walsingham?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Little Walsingham.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Bath resealing in Little Walsingham without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Little Walsingham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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