Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rettendon, Essex
We travel to Rettendon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Rettendon
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath resealing in Rettendon
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Rettendon?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM3 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Rettendon included. Travel is included in the price.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
