Bath resealing in Hundon, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
If you’re in Hundon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath resealing in Hundon?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
