Bath resealing in Beggar Hill

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Beggar Hill, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Beggar Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common problems we fix in Beggar Hill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Beggar Hill

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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