Bath resealing at your home in Totham Hill
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Totham Hill as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Totham Hill
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Totham Hill
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Totham Hill
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How much does bath resealing cost in Totham Hill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Totham Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Totham Hill
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
