Bath resealing at your home in The Common
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlord and trade work in The Common
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath resealing in The Common
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Common questions in The Common
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
