What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why it’s worth resealing in Stansted Mountfitchet

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stansted Mountfitchet

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Stansted Mountfitchet contact us are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Stansted Mountfitchet

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Stansted Mountfitchet?

We do. We send a technician to Stansted Mountfitchet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
