Bath resealing in Great Waltham

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

About our bath resealing in Great Waltham

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Waltham

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Waltham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Great Waltham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Great Waltham: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Great Waltham?

We do. Technicians travel to Great Waltham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Resealing in Great Waltham: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in Great Waltham

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair
