Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lawford, Essex
We travel to Lawford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath resealing in Lawford without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Lawford
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Lawford and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lawford?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Lawford
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
