Bath resealing in Matlaske

Bath resealing in Matlaske, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Matlaske

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

FAQs for Matlaske

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Matlaske?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Matlaske and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When to call us in Matlaske

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
