Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Pitsea
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Pitsea
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions from Pitsea
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
