Bath resealing in North Weald Bassett

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

How we handle bath resealing in North Weald Bassett

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Weald Bassett and across Essex.

Your questions about bath resealing in North Weald Bassett

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to North Weald Bassett?

We do. Technicians travel to North Weald Bassett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why it’s worth resealing in North Weald Bassett

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Do you need bath resealing in North Weald Bassett?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
