Bath resealing in Chigwell

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Bath resealing in Chigwell, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Chigwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Chigwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Wet rooms

Why it’s worth resealing in Chigwell

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
