Bath resealing in Kelvedon, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Kelvedon: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Kelvedon
We do not charge extra for travel to Kelvedon. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
