Bath resealing near Bobbingworth

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Common problems we fix in Bobbingworth

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal

Common questions in Bobbingworth

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Bobbingworth included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
