Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Boxford, Suffolk
Bath resealing across Boxford and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing in Boxford without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boxford
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What affects the price in Boxford
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why it’s worth resealing in Boxford

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
