Bath resealing in North Green

About our bath resealing in North Green

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in North Green

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for North Green

Do you cover North Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to North Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Green.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
