About our bath resealing in Roundbush Green

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 technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Roundbush Green

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Roundbush Green: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Roundbush Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Roundbush Green?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Roundbush Green

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
