FAQs for Woolpit Heath

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Woolpit Heath

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Woolpit Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need bath resealing in Woolpit Heath

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
