Bath resealing for Essendine homes

Bath resealing in Essendine without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Essendine. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Essendine

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Essendine

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Essendine

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Essendine

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Essendine.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is there any odour?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
