Bath resealing at your home in Elsenham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Elsenham: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Elsenham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Elsenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Elsenham
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elsenham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
