Bath Resealing in Ickworth
Our technicians come to Ickworth for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal

- An untidy old seal
Bath resealing in Ickworth, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Resealing in Ickworth: why it matters

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Ickworth
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ickworth included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
