About our bath resealing in Great Braxted

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Resealing in Great Braxted: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Braxted. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Great Braxted

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Great Braxted: your questions answered

Do you come to Great Braxted?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Braxted and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Great Braxted

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, 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. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Great Braxted

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
