Bath resealing for Waltham homes

About our bath resealing in Waltham

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waltham as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Waltham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waltham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waltham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Waltham

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
