Bath resealing in Greenstead Green, done in place

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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenstead Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Greenstead Green

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What we’re called out for in Greenstead Green

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
