Common questions in Alresford
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Resealing in Alresford: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Alresford. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Alresford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
