Bath resealing in Blackthorpe, 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 leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackthorpe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Blackthorpe
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Blackthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Blackthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why it’s worth resealing in Blackthorpe
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Blackthorpe
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
