Bath resealing in Wells-next-the-Sea without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and damp near the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Wells-next-the-Sea questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Wells-next-the-Sea and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What else we do in Wells-next-the-Sea
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
