Bath Resealing for Maldon homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Maldon, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Bath resealing in Maldon, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Maldon
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Maldon
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Maldon
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
