A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

What else we do in Kesgrave
Landlord and trade work in Kesgrave
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Kesgrave: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Kesgrave?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kesgrave from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need bath resealing in Kesgrave?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Kesgrave customers choose us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
