About our bath resealing in Wickham Bishops

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Wickham Bishops

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Wickham Bishops

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham Bishops

For anyone letting property in or around Wickham Bishops, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Wickham Bishops: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Wickham Bishops?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wickham Bishops. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, so Wickham Bishops is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
