Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bentley, Essex
Bath resealing in Bentley without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing at your home in Bentley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bentley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bentley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Bentley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Bentley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bentley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
