What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.

- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

About our bath resealing in Saxtead Little Green
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Saxtead Little Green
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Saxtead Little Green and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Saxtead Little Green. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Saxtead Little Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Saxtead Little Green
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Saxtead Little Green contact us are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why it’s worth resealing in Saxtead Little Green
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
