Bath resealing in Pettistree, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pettistree and across Suffolk.

FAQs for Pettistree
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
