Bath resealing at your home in Ingham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and stained silicone.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Ingham
We charge the same across the UK, including Ingham. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Ingham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Ingham: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why it’s worth resealing in Ingham
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
