Monk Street: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Bath resealing in Monk Street, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Monk Street

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monk Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Do you need bath resealing in Monk Street?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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