Bath resealing in Stowmarket, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Stowmarket
Stowmarket: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Resealing in Stowmarket: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stowmarket
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
