We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing in Duton Hill without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Duton Hill
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Duton Hill.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Duton Hill: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
