Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Matching Tye, Essex
Local bath resealing for Matching Tye: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Matching Tye
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Matching Tye
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Matching Tye
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you come to Matching Tye?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Matching Tye from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
