How we handle bath resealing in Perry Green
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Perry Green
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Common problems we fix in Perry Green
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Perry Green contact us are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal

Perry Green: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
