Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Water Run, Suffolk
We travel to Water Run for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Bath resealing in Water Run, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
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
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Water Run
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need bath resealing in Water Run?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Your questions about bath resealing in Water Run
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Water Run?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Water Run for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in Water Run
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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 get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
