Bath resealing in East End

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Bath resealing in East End, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East End as everywhere else we work.

Questions from East End

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in East End?

We do. We send a technician to East End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in East End

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use 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. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
