Bath resealing in Fuller's End

Bath resealing in Fuller's End without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Resealing in Fuller's End: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Do you need bath resealing in Fuller's End?

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

Questions from Fuller's End

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
