How we handle bath resealing in Tilbury
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tilbury and across Thurrock.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Tilbury
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Tilbury, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Tilbury: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Thurrock?
Everywhere in the UK, Tilbury included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Tilbury?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
