What we are called out for in Gambles Green
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station (about 2.3 miles south-east), we repair baths and showers between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

What affects the price in Gambles Green
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there. For a rural address like Gambles Green, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath resealing comes with us in one trip.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Resealing in Gambles Green: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. For a rural home like those around Gambles Green, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath resealing is one trip.
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
