Bath resealing in Creeksea, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and unsealed corners.

In older homes in a village like Creeksea, walls and floors can move a little, and that splits sealant. We seal baths full of water so the joint is at its widest.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Facilities teams at buildings such as Ormiston Rivers Academy can book us for changing rooms and washrooms too.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Creeksea needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the bath resealing comes with us in one trip.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Creeksea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. For a rural home like those around Creeksea, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our Pricing.

When to call us in Creeksea

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Rented homes near Burnham-On-Crouch station (about 1 mile east) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
