For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath resealing at your home in Polstead Heath

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

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 a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Polstead Heath

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

FAQs for Polstead Heath

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Polstead Heath.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Polstead Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Polstead Heath. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What we are called out for in Polstead Heath

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
