Bath resealing in Gestingthorpe, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Gestingthorpe questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Gestingthorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
