Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Goldhanger, Essex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Goldhanger and across Essex. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Goldhanger
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth resealing in Goldhanger
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Goldhanger
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
