Common questions in Offton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does bath resealing cost in Offton?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP8 postcode.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How we handle bath resealing in Offton
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Old sealant and residue are removed.

- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

What else we do in Offton
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Offton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often 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.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Offton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Offton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
