How we handle bath resealing in Sudbury

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sudbury and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sudbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Sudbury?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Sudbury: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are 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.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Sudbury?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sudbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sudbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sudbury

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
