DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Hawstead. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Common questions in Hawstead
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hawstead?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hawstead
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP29 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
