How we handle bath resealing in Somerleyton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Somerleyton: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerleyton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Somerleyton

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Somerleyton. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
