Bath resealing for Tytherleigh homes

Different materials, different repairs

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.

How we handle bath resealing in Tytherleigh

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tytherleigh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

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.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Resealing in Tytherleigh: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book

Tytherleigh: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX13 postcode.

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Will the price change on the day?

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
