Common questions in Great Chesterford

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Bath resealing in Great Chesterford without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Chesterford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Great Chesterford

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
