About our bath resealing in Margaretting
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath resealing in Margaretting
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Margaretting
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
