Bath Resealing for Matching homes
Bath resealing across Matching and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Matching
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Matching
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Matching?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Matching and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 affects the price in Matching
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Matching, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
