Bath resealing in Acton, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Acton
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Acton: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Acton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
