Bath resealing at your home in Burthorpe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burthorpe as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Burthorpe
How much does bath resealing cost in Burthorpe?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burthorpe.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we’re called out for in Burthorpe
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
Resealing in Burthorpe: why it matters
