Bath resealing near St Margaret South Elmham

Bath resealing in St Margaret South Elmham without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Margaret South Elmham as everywhere else we work.

Questions from St Margaret South Elmham

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover St Margaret South Elmham?

We do. We send a technician to St Margaret South Elmham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What affects the price in St Margaret South Elmham

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
