Need bath resealing in Walberswick?

Bath resealing at your home in Walberswick

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Walberswick

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Walberswick. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walberswick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Walberswick: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.
