Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Orford, Suffolk
We travel to Orford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

Bath resealing in Orford without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Orford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Orford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Orford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Your questions about bath resealing in Orford
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How much does bath resealing cost in Orford?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Orford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
