DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Resealing in Great Barton: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Great Barton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Great Barton?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
