How we handle bath resealing in Great Finborough
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Questions from Great Finborough
Do you come to Great Finborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Finborough and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
