About our bath resealing in Chedgrave
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Chedgrave: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Chedgrave
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

- Gaps by the taps

Chedgrave questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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 is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
