What we are called out for in Tiptree

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

About our bath resealing in Tiptree

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tiptree and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

How easy the damage is to reach
What the surface is made of
The colour and finish to match
The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tiptree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
One sharp close-up of the damage
Details of any past repairs
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
Old sealant and residue are removed.
The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

Advice

Tiptree: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Dry the seal after bathing
Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Tiptree: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
