How we handle bath resealing in Great Blakenham
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Blakenham. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Other services in Great Blakenham
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Common questions in Great Blakenham
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for 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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
