Your questions about bath resealing in Stowupland
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath resealing cost in Stowupland?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP14 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
About our bath resealing in Stowupland
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Stowupland
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stowupland
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What else we do in Stowupland
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
