Bath Resealing for Harkstead homes
Bath resealing in Harkstead without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.

- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Harkstead, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Common problems we fix in Harkstead
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Harkstead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Harkstead
We do not charge extra for travel to Harkstead. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harkstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
