Bath resealing in Tilbury Juxta Clare, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilbury Juxta Clare as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

Tilbury Juxta Clare questions

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Tilbury Juxta Clare

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges

  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Tilbury Juxta Clare

There’s no area surcharge for Tilbury Juxta Clare. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tilbury Juxta Clare, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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