- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Bath resealing at your home in Rayne
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rayne and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Rayne
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Rayne. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlord and trade work in Rayne
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rayne: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Rayne?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rayne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When to call us in Rayne
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most clients in Rayne get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
