Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Nazeing

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 pictures.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
