About our bath resealing in Ardleigh Heath
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and unsealed corners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ardleigh Heath
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Ardleigh Heath?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ardleigh Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in Ardleigh Heath
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Ardleigh Heath
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
