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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Grimstone End
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in Grimstone End
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
