South Woodham Ferrers questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes South Woodham Ferrers. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for South Woodham Ferrers?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to South Woodham Ferrers?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Woodham Ferrers. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When to call us in South Woodham Ferrers

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Woodham Ferrers

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in South Woodham Ferrers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
