Bath resealing at your home in Playford
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Playford and across Suffolk.

What else we do in Playford
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Playford?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Common questions in Playford
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
