Bath resealing near Earl Soham

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Earl Soham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
