Kelvedon Hatch: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kelvedon Hatch.
Do you cover Kelvedon Hatch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kelvedon Hatch and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kelvedon Hatch
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
