Trusted bath resealing in Shoeburyness

Bath resealing in Shoeburyness, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Shoeburyness

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shoeburyness?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Shoeburyness

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Wet rooms

Signs you need bath resealing in Shoeburyness

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

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