Bath resealing in Battlesbridge

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Battlesbridge. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Battlesbridge questions

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Battlesbridge?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
