Bath resealing near Ludham Bridge

About our bath resealing in Ludham Bridge

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Ludham Bridge: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ludham Bridge

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

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
