Bath resealing in Basildon, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Basildon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Basildon
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Basildon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Basildon and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SS16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Basildon
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Basildon contact us are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Basildon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Basildon
There is no charge for travel to Basildon. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basildon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
