Bath resealing in Wissett without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wissett, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Resealing in Wissett: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Do you need bath resealing in Wissett?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Wissett

How long does resealing take?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What affects the price in Wissett

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Wissett get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
