How we handle bath resealing in Sco Ruston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Sco Ruston. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Sco Ruston
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you come to Sco Ruston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sco Ruston and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sco Ruston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
