Bath resealing in Nayland without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Questions from Nayland

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How much does bath resealing cost in Nayland?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
