Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Earls Colne, Essex
Bath resealing in Earls Colne without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Earls Colne. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our bath resealing in Earls Colne
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. 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 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 often lifts.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Resealing in Earls Colne: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Earls Colne
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
