Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Carbrooke, Norfolk
Our repair technicians come to Carbrooke for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
How we handle bath resealing in Carbrooke
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carbrooke as everywhere else we work.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Carbrooke
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Carbrooke
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Carbrooke included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Carbrooke
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
