  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Wetheringsett

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Wetheringsett: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Wetheringsett

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

What affects the price in Wetheringsett

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Wetheringsett, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
