Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in The Lings

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in The Lings and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in The Lings

Do you come to The Lings?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Lings from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in The Lings

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
