About our bath resealing in Norwich
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Norwich
Common problems we fix in Norwich
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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.
What affects the price in Norwich
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why it’s worth resealing in Norwich
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
