Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in The Heath, Hertfordshire
Bath resealing across The Heath and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How we handle bath resealing in The Heath
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Resealing in The Heath: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including The Heath. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Heath
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Common questions in The Heath
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
