Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Tendring, Essex
Local bath resealing for Tendring: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath resealing in Tendring
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Tendring: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Tendring?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tendring. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Tendring
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
