The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Roughton

How much does bath resealing cost in Roughton?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Roughton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Roughton and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we are called out for in Roughton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
