Your questions about bath resealing in Little Blakenham
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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 pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
