Bath resealing in Takeley Street, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and stained silicone, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Takeley Street as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When to call us in Takeley Street
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

FAQs for Takeley Street
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
