FAQs for Winston Green

Do you charge for travel?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Bath resealing at your home in Winston Green

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Winston Green. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Winston Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Winston Green

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
