Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pennygate, Norfolk
Bath resealing in and around Pennygate: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing at your home in Pennygate
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Pennygate questions
Do you cover Pennygate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pennygate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pennygate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Pennygate: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
