- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Barking Tye, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What affects the price in Barking Tye
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we are called out for in Barking Tye
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Barking Tye
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover Barking Tye?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Barking Tye. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?

Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add 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.
