Bath resealing near Greensted

About our bath resealing in Greensted

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Greensted

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you come to Greensted?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Greensted and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Greensted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Greensted. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Greensted and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Greensted. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Greensted

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
