Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bergh Apton, Norfolk
We travel to Bergh Apton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bergh Apton
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What affects the price in Bergh Apton
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
