Bath Resealing in Wivenhoe
Bath resealing across Wivenhoe and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Bath resealing in Wivenhoe without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Wivenhoe?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

Common questions in Wivenhoe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
