Bath resealing in East Horndon, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Horndon as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from East Horndon
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in East Horndon, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in East Horndon
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Horndon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why it’s worth resealing in East Horndon
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
