Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thurston Planche, Suffolk
Bath resealing in Thurston Planche without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Thurston Planche
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 often asked to fix damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Thurston Planche
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP31 postcode.
Signs you need bath resealing in Thurston Planche
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
