Need bath resealing in Southend-on-Sea?

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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.

About our bath resealing in Southend-on-Sea

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Southend-on-Sea

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage

Questions from Southend-on-Sea

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What information do you need?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Southend-on-Sea. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

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

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
