Bath resealing in Stambourne, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Stambourne

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Stambourne

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

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

Questions from Stambourne

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
