Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Landlord and trade work in Thurston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
