Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Long Green, Essex
Fixed-price bath resealing in Long Green and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Bath resealing in Long Green, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Long Green
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM77 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
