Bath resealing at your home in Sicklesmere

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Sicklesmere

If you manage property in Sicklesmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

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, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about bath resealing in Sicklesmere

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Sicklesmere

We don’t charge extra for travel to Sicklesmere. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sicklesmere. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Sicklesmere

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
