How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bildeston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bildeston questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Bildeston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bildeston and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bildeston?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.
