Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Swaffham
How much does bath resealing cost in Swaffham?

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
