Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Radwinter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Resealing in Radwinter: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Radwinter: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Radwinter?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Radwinter and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Radwinter?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Radwinter

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
