How we handle bath resealing in Cross Green
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Cross Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
