Bath resealing in Stratford St Mary without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stratford St Mary
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Stratford St Mary
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need bath resealing in Stratford St Mary
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone

Your questions about bath resealing in Stratford St Mary
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Do you work in Stratford St Mary?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stratford St Mary. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
