Bath resealing in Thetford

Bath resealing in Thetford without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Thetford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Thetford. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Thetford

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does bath resealing cost?

Will the price change on the day?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
