The Heath: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Bath resealing in The Heath without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Heath and across Suffolk.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in The Heath

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How it works
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 work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
