About our bath resealing in Bures Green
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What affects the price in Bures Green
There’s no area surcharge for Bures Green. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Bures Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath resealing in Bures Green
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
