Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rowhedge, Essex
Our repair technicians come to Rowhedge for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Rowhedge
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Rowhedge
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need bath resealing in Rowhedge
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why it’s worth resealing in Rowhedge
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
