How we handle bath resealing in Sutton
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sutton and across Suffolk.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sutton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sutton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Sutton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Sutton?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
