Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mowden, Essex
We travel to Mowden for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
About our bath resealing in Mowden
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

Questions from Mowden
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Resealing in Mowden: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
