Bath resealing for Poynders End homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing at your home in Poynders End

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why it’s worth resealing in Poynders End

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to compare quotes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
