Bath resealing in Layer Marney, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Questions from Layer Marney
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Layer Marney included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
