Why it’s worth resealing in Pig Street

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Bath resealing in Pig Street, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

Common questions in Pig Street

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pig Street?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO16 postcode.

Landlord and trade work in Pig Street

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
