Bath resealing in Essington

Bath resealing at your home in Essington

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Resealing in Essington: 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Essington: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you come to Essington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Essington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Essington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Essington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Essington. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
