Questions from Thorpe St Andrew

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

About our bath resealing in Thorpe St Andrew

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Thorpe St Andrew

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
