Bath resealing in Loughton, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Loughton

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Loughton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loughton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Loughton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Loughton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
