Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rushford, Norfolk

- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone

How we handle bath resealing in Rushford
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rushford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Rushford: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Rushford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rushford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rushford.

What we’re called out for in Rushford
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
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.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
