Bath resealing at your home in South Stifford
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in South Stifford and across Thurrock.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in South Stifford
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Stifford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RM16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
South Stifford questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes South Stifford. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover South Stifford?
We do. Technicians travel to South Stifford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Resealing in South Stifford: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
