Landlord and trade work in Garboldisham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Garboldisham. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Questions from Garboldisham
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?

Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Garboldisham: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
