How we handle bath resealing in Sudbury
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Sudbury
Common questions in Sudbury
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are there extra charges for Sudbury?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Sudbury
For anyone letting property in or around Sudbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Sudbury
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sudbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
