Bath resealing in Mill Street without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Mill Street: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Mill Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mill Street and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We cover the whole UK, including Mill Street and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mill Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
