Bath Resealing for Rivenhall End homes
We travel to Rivenhall End for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Rivenhall End
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rivenhall End and across Essex.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rivenhall End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Common problems we fix in Rivenhall End
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
