Bath resealing in Ipswich Garden Suburb, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- 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.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Do you need bath resealing in Ipswich Garden Suburb?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Ipswich Garden Suburb
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

Is the work guaranteed?

Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ipswich Garden Suburb included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Ipswich Garden Suburb?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Ipswich Garden Suburb?
We do. Technicians travel to Ipswich Garden Suburb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
