About our bath resealing in Saxlingham

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Saxlingham. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Saxlingham: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Saxlingham included. Travel is included in the price.
