About our bath resealing in Wetherden

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Resealing in Wetherden: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wetherden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

If you’re in Wetherden and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wetherden

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
