Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Breckland, Norfolk
Bath resealing for Breckland, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Breckland
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Breckland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Breckland. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Breckland, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Breckland
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What we’re called out for in Breckland
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
