Bath Resealing for Rochford homes

- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
About our bath resealing in Rochford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare

Rochford questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SS4 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Rochford and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
