Bath resealing for Frating Green homes

About our bath resealing in Frating Green

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frating Green

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frating Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Frating Green: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Frating Green

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Your questions about bath resealing in Frating Green

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you work in Frating Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Frating Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
