Bath resealing in Great Dunmow, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Great Dunmow
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Great Dunmow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Dunmow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Great Dunmow
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Great Dunmow customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Dunmow
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Dunmow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
