About our bath resealing in Hobbs Cross
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Hobbs Cross?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Hobbs Cross, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Hobbs Cross
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
