Bath resealing in Shenfield, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Shenfield

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Shenfield?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Shenfield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Shenfield: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Shenfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Shenfield. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Shenfield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
