Bath resealing in Martlesham, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Martlesham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Martlesham
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Martlesham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Martlesham and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Common problems we fix in Martlesham
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Common reasons people in Martlesham contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
