About our bath resealing in Wivenhoe Quay
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wivenhoe Quay
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wivenhoe Quay
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
