Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shipdham, Norfolk
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Shipdham, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Bath resealing in Shipdham, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Shipdham
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Shipdham contact us are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

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
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shipdham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
