About our bath resealing in Middleton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Middleton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Middleton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 often lifts.

Questions from Middleton

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it messy?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Middleton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Middleton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Middleton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
