Bath resealing in Candle Street without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Candle Street: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Candle Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Candle Street

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Candle Street.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
