Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in West Thurrock, Thurrock
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in West Thurrock, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from West Thurrock
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover West Thurrock?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Thurrock. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in West Thurrock
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for these signs:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone

What affects the price in West Thurrock
We charge the same across the UK, including West Thurrock. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
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 pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in West Thurrock
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
