Bath resealing for Syleham homes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Syleham

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Syleham as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Syleham

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Syleham

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
