Bath resealing in Stoke-by-Clare, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Common questions in Stoke-by-Clare
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Stoke-by-Clare
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stoke-by-Clare
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Stoke-by-Clare
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
