About our bath resealing in Littlebury
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Littlebury and across Essex.

What affects the price in Littlebury
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Littlebury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlebury
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Why it’s worth resealing in Littlebury
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
