How we handle bath resealing in Elder Street
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elder Street
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elder Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

- A picture taken from further back

Do you need bath resealing in Elder Street?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps

FAQs for Elder Street
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath resealing cost in Elder Street?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB10 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Elder Street and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
