Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rushmere, Suffolk
We travel to Rushmere for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing at your home in Rushmere
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Rushmere
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Rushmere. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths

Landlord and trade work in Rushmere
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
