Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Far Thorpe Green, Essex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Far Thorpe Green, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Far Thorpe Green
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Far Thorpe Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Far Thorpe Green
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Far Thorpe Green, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
