Book bath resealing in Baythorne End

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we handle bath resealing in Baythorne End

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Why it’s worth resealing in Baythorne End

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Baythorne End customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Baythorne End

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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