Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hempstead, Essex
Bath resealing across Hempstead and nearby, generally in one visit.
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Hempstead
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about bath resealing in Hempstead
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Hempstead and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you work in Hempstead?
We do. We send a technician to Hempstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?

Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
