- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Resealing in Melton: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.

Related advice
Melton: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Are there extra charges for Melton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Melton
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Melton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
