Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Burnham Norton, Norfolk
Bath resealing for Burnham Norton, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Bath resealing at your home in Burnham Norton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Burnham Norton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Burnham Norton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burnham Norton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Do you need bath resealing in Burnham Norton?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal

What affects the price in Burnham Norton
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
