Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Almshouse Green, Suffolk
Fixed-price bath resealing in Almshouse Green and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing in Almshouse Green, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Common questions in Almshouse Green
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
