Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Patching, Essex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Patching. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Patching
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Patching
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Patching as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Patching
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Patching. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
