Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Minnow End, Essex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Minnow End, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Minnow End
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Minnow End and across Essex.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minnow End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Minnow End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath resealing in Minnow End
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Minnow End?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Minnow End and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Minnow End
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
