Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Dunston, Norfolk
Bath resealing for Dunston, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath resealing at your home in Dunston

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Dunston. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Dunston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Dunston
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
