Bath resealing near Scratby

About our bath resealing in Scratby

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scratby and across Norfolk.

When to call us in Scratby

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Scratby

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scratby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
