- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal

How we handle bath resealing in Bulmer
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bulmer and across Suffolk.

Common questions in Bulmer
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Bulmer?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bulmer for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bulmer
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal

Landlord and trade work in Bulmer
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Bulmer, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Bulmer. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
