Bath resealing for Great Tey, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Bath resealing in Great Tey, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Great Tey
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Great Tey

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Resealing in Great Tey: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Common questions in Great Tey
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.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Tey.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
