Trusted bath resealing in Sternfield

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath resealing in Sternfield

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sternfield and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What we are called out for in Sternfield

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Sternfield

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Sternfield?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sternfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP17 postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Sternfield customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
