Bath resealing in Purleigh, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Purleigh

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

FAQs for Purleigh

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Do you come to Purleigh?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Purleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
