Bath resealing at your home in Occold
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Occold
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Occold and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
