When to call us in Sible Hedingham

Common questions in Sible Hedingham
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
