Bath resealing in Sandringham, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Sandringham

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlord and trade work in Sandringham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandringham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Sandringham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Sandringham contact us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

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