Bath resealing near Stansted

When to call us in Stansted

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

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

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Bath resealing at your home in Stansted

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stansted as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Stansted. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Common questions in Stansted

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Resealing in Stansted: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
