About our bath resealing in Brettenham
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Brettenham
There is no charge for travel to Brettenham. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Brettenham: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
