Bath resealing in Copford

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Run 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.

How we handle bath resealing in Copford

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 regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Copford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Copford

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Copford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
