Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Eriswell, Suffolk
Bath resealing across Eriswell and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath resealing in Eriswell, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Eriswell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Eriswell?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone

- Gaps by the taps

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
