Bath resealing in Blythburgh without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need bath resealing in Blythburgh
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners

Why it’s worth resealing in Blythburgh
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
