Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing at your home in Ashbocking
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Ashbocking
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Do you cover Ashbocking?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ashbocking. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ashbocking
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
