Bath Resealing across Essex

How bath resealing works in Essex

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Near you in Colchester

Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House and the streets around them. Also close by are Colchester Sixth Form College (within half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (within half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Nearby you will also find Lion Walk (less than half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (less than half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Westhouse Wood.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Repair or replace?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Essex. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Essex. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Essex

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, so Essex is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Essex?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
