Bath resealing near Langdon Hills

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Langdon Hills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

About our bath resealing in Langdon Hills

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Langdon Hills

Are there extra charges for Langdon Hills?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Langdon Hills?

We do. We send a technician to Langdon Hills for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
