Bath resealing in East Tilbury

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Bath resealing in East Tilbury, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in East Tilbury

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

East Tilbury questions

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to East Tilbury?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Tilbury. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Resealing in East Tilbury: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
