Bath resealing in Silver End, done in place
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. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Silver End
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What else we do in Silver End
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Silver End
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
