About our bath resealing in Pin Mill
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Pin Mill
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Pin Mill contact us are:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
