FAQs for Little Dunmow
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How we handle bath resealing in Little Dunmow
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
