We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Resealing in Great Waldingfield: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Great Waldingfield customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Great Waldingfield questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Great Waldingfield and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Signs you need bath resealing in Great Waldingfield

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
