DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

About our bath resealing in Hazeleigh

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Resealing in Hazeleigh: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Hazeleigh clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Hazeleigh: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Hazeleigh. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hazeleigh

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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