Bath resealing in Winfarthing, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Winfarthing and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Winfarthing
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winfarthing
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Winfarthing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
