Bath Resealing in Leiston
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Leiston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

About our bath resealing in Leiston
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. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What else we do in Leiston
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Leiston
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Leiston?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leiston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Leiston
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common problems we fix in Leiston
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why it’s worth resealing in Leiston
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
