Questions from Mendlesham
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Mendlesham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Bath resealing in Mendlesham, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mendlesham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath

What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
