Bath resealing near Little Bardfield

Bath resealing in Little Bardfield, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Little Bardfield

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Little Bardfield

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone
