Bath resealing across Wivenhoe Cross and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Wivenhoe Cross, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
About our bath resealing in Wivenhoe Cross
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wivenhoe Cross and across Essex.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wivenhoe Cross
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are there extra charges for Wivenhoe Cross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wivenhoe Cross?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Wivenhoe Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
