About our bath resealing in Snaresbrook

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Snaresbrook

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snaresbrook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Snaresbrook: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
