How we handle bath resealing in Woolverstone
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolverstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Woolverstone questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Woolverstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woolverstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you need bath resealing in Woolverstone?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
