Bath resealing near South Walsham

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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

Do you need bath resealing in South Walsham?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Common questions in South Walsham

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath resealing cost in South Walsham?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you accredited?

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

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Walsham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
