How we handle bath resealing in East Mersea
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
East Mersea questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, East Mersea included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Other services in East Mersea
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
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. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
