About our bath resealing in Fordham Heath

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Fordham Heath

Do you work in Fordham Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fordham Heath and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide, so Fordham Heath is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Fordham Heath?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Fordham Heath. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Fordham Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
