Your questions about bath resealing in Castle Hill
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Castle Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Castle Hill and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Bath resealing in Castle Hill without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Castle Hill
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on 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.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Castle Hill. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Castle Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
If you are in Castle Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
