Bath resealing in Little Yeldham, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Little Yeldham

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Little Yeldham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Little Yeldham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Yeldham

Will there be a smell?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you cover Little Yeldham?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Yeldham and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
