Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ixworth Thorpe, Suffolk

- Unsealed corners
Bath resealing in Ixworth Thorpe, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ixworth Thorpe
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ixworth Thorpe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Ixworth Thorpe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Ixworth Thorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ixworth Thorpe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
