Bath resealing in Camulodunum, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Camulodunum
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
If you’re in Camulodunum and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Camulodunum
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Common questions in Camulodunum
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
