What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Cornish Hall End questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Cornish Hall End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cornish Hall End and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cornish Hall End

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
