Bath resealing in Sowley Green

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Sowley Green

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sowley Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Sowley Green

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sowley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sowley Green

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing.

What we are called out for in Sowley Green

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
