About our bath resealing in Pulham St Mary
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Pulham St Mary
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in Pulham St Mary?
We do. We send a technician to Pulham St Mary for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Other services in Pulham St Mary
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pulham St Mary
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pulham St Mary use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
