Bath resealing in Daws Heath without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We are frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Daws Heath

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are there extra charges for Daws Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Daws Heath

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Landlords, agents and businesses in Daws Heath

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
