Bath resealing in Writtle without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
FAQs for Writtle
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Writtle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Writtle. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Writtle
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Writtle contact us are:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure

Why it’s worth resealing in Writtle
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Writtle
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
