FAQs for Copford Green

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Copford Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Copford Green?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO6 postcode.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, 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. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Copford Green. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Copford Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in Copford Green

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
