Advice
About our bath resealing in Wickham Skeith
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. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Wickham Skeith
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you need bath resealing in Wickham Skeith?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Wickham Skeith
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
