What else we do in Hintlesham
Signs you need bath resealing in Hintlesham
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
