Questions from Abberton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO5 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are there extra charges for Abberton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Bath resealing at your home in Abberton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Abberton and across Essex.

Common problems we fix in Abberton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer

- Hidden water damage

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abberton
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
