Bath resealing in Boxted, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Boxted
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover Boxted?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Boxted. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Boxted.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What affects the price in Boxted
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Boxted: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
