Bath resealing at your home in Sibton
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. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Sibton questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Sibton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sibton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
