Trusted bath resealing in North Lopham

Bath resealing at your home in North Lopham

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

North Lopham questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How much does bath resealing cost in North Lopham?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP22 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
