Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ellingham, Suffolk
Bath resealing across Ellingham and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Ellingham, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlord and trade work in Ellingham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Run 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Ellingham: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
