Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Magdalen Laver, Essex
Bath resealing in and around Magdalen Laver: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath resealing in Magdalen Laver, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When to call us in Magdalen Laver
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
