Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Aldborough, Norfolk
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Aldborough. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Aldborough, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aldborough: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Common problems we fix in Aldborough
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
