Bath resealing at your home in Needham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Resealing in Needham: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Needham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Needham
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
