About our bath resealing in Stanstead Abbotts
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stanstead Abbotts and across Hertfordshire.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanstead Abbotts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Landlord and trade work in Stanstead Abbotts
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanstead Abbotts as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
