Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Harwich, Essex
Local bath resealing for Harwich: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle bath resealing in Harwich
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.

Related advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Harwich
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Across the UK, so Harwich is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
