Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Battisford, Suffolk
Our repair technicians come to Battisford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we handle bath resealing in Battisford
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Battisford?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Battisford contact us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Battisford: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Battisford.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What else we do in Battisford
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
