Bath resealing near West Mersea

About our bath resealing in West Mersea

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

What affects the price in West Mersea

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in West Mersea

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about bath resealing in West Mersea

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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