Bath resealing at your home in Shotesham

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Shotesham

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Shotesham

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

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

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shotesham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What we are called out for in Shotesham

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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