Questions from Ardleigh Green

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Ardleigh Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bath resealing at your home in Ardleigh Green

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

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 around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardleigh Green

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Ardleigh Green

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
