How we handle bath resealing in Chignall Smealy
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Landlord and trade work in Chignall Smealy
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Chignall Smealy questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Chignall Smealy and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
