Bath resealing in Loughton without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Loughton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
Loughton questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use 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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
