Common questions in Windmill Hill

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO5 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Bath resealing at your home in Windmill Hill

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

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

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath resealing costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Windmill Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
