Bath resealing in Stanway

How we handle bath resealing in Stanway

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanway and across Essex.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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.

Stanway questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO3 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Stanway

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Stanway contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Stanway

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Stanway clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Landlord and trade work in Stanway

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Stanway

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
