Bath resealing at your home in Great Bardfield

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Great Bardfield

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Great Bardfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Great Bardfield and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Great Bardfield

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Great Bardfield

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
