Bath Resealing for Lakenheath homes
We travel to Lakenheath for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
About our bath resealing in Lakenheath
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lakenheath as everywhere else we work.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lakenheath
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Lakenheath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Lakenheath
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
