How we handle bath resealing in Tilty

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tilty and across Essex.

Questions from Tilty

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Tilty?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tilty. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tilty.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Tilty

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tilty

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What affects the price in Tilty

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
