Bath resealing at your home in Braintree
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

What affects the price in Braintree
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
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
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Braintree, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Braintree: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Braintree
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Braintree
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
