Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath

Bath resealing at your home in Canvey Island
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Canvey Island questions
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Canvey Island. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 often lifts.
Why it’s worth resealing in Canvey Island
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
