How we handle bath resealing in Drinkstone
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drinkstone and across Suffolk.

Drinkstone questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
Common problems we fix in Drinkstone
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Drinkstone
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drinkstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
