Signs you need bath resealing in Tolleshunt Knights

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Bath resealing in Tolleshunt Knights without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Tolleshunt Knights

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Tolleshunt Knights?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide, so Tolleshunt Knights is covered. Prices do not change with location.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
