Runwell questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Bath resealing in Runwell, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When to call us in Runwell
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

What affects the price in Runwell
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Runwell
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
