Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Horsley Cross, Essex
We travel to Horsley Cross for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Horsley Cross
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Your questions about bath resealing in Horsley Cross
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Horsley Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Horsley Cross and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
