About our bath resealing in Howe Street

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Howe Street. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Howe Street

Will it make a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Howe Street and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
