How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Abbess Roding. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Abbess Roding
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Abbess Roding?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbess Roding
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Do you need bath resealing in Abbess Roding?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
