Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Puddledock, Norfolk
Bath resealing across Puddledock and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Puddledock
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Why it’s worth resealing in Puddledock
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Puddledock questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Puddledock?
We do. We send a technician to Puddledock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
