How we handle bath resealing in Great Ellingham
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Ellingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we are called out for in Great Ellingham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
