Bath resealing near Worlingham

Bath resealing in Worlingham, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

FAQs for Worlingham

Can landlords book you?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Worlingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Worlingham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we’re called out for in Worlingham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
