Bath resealing in Fornham St Martin without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Fornham St Martin

- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Fornham St Martin
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fornham St Martin?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use 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.
