Bath resealing in Little Wenham

How we handle bath resealing in Little Wenham

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Little Wenham

  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before you book

Little Wenham: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
