Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shipmeadow, Suffolk
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Shipmeadow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms

About our bath resealing in Shipmeadow
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Shipmeadow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Shipmeadow
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
