Bath resealing in Bocking Churchstreet, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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.

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Bocking Churchstreet: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Bocking Churchstreet?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bocking Churchstreet and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Bocking Churchstreet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
