Bath resealing at your home in Flowton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Flowton
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Flowton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Flowton
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do you come to Flowton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Flowton and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When to call us in Flowton
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Flowton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Flowton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
