Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Gunton, Suffolk
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Gunton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

Bath resealing in Gunton without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Gunton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Gunton questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you cover Gunton?
We do. Technicians travel to Gunton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Gunton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gunton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
