Bath resealing near Waxham

How we handle bath resealing in Waxham

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Waxham. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

FAQs for Waxham

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Landlord and trade work in Waxham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
