Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Snape Watering, Suffolk
We travel to Snape Watering for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath resealing in Snape Watering
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Your questions about bath resealing in Snape Watering
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Snape Watering?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Snape Watering. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Snape Watering. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Snape Watering
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Landlord and trade work in Snape Watering
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
