Bath resealing in Tacolneston

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Tacolneston: your questions answered

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tacolneston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Tacolneston?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tacolneston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Resealing in Tacolneston: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
