Your questions about bath resealing in Wattisham
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Wattisham.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Wattisham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How do I book?

Bath resealing in Wattisham, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wattisham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Wattisham
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
