Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bradwell, Essex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Bradwell, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath resealing in Bradwell without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Bradwell
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Bradwell
There’s no charge for travel to Bradwell. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bradwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
