Bath resealing near The Green

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

About our bath resealing in The Green

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in The Green

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you come to The Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Green and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in The Green

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
