About our bath resealing in Shimpling

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shimpling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Shimpling questions

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Shimpling and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shimpling?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
