About our bath resealing in Lackford
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Lackford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Resealing in Lackford: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the entire UK

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
