About our bath resealing in Old Felixstowe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Old Felixstowe
We charge the same across the UK, including Old Felixstowe. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Felixstowe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Old Felixstowe questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Old Felixstowe. Prices do not change with location.
How much does bath resealing cost in Old Felixstowe?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
