Signs you need bath resealing in Sustead

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Sustead clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Sustead: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Sustead and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
