Bath resealing in Norton, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Norton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not 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.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Norton: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Norton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Norton?

We do. Technicians travel to Norton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in Norton

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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