About our bath resealing in Hartest
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartest
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Is resealing worth it?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Hartest
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hartest and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Hartest
We charge the same across the UK, including Hartest. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
