Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Bath resealing at your home in Walcot Green

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Walcot Green. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Walcot Green, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Walcot Green

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Walcot Green

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walcot Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Walcot Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
