Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Do you need bath resealing in Wilby?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Wilby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Wilby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wilby and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wilby.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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 information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
