Felsted questions

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Felsted is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Bath resealing in Felsted, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Felsted

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Felsted

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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