Bath resealing in Woodham

Bath resealing at your home in Woodham

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and unsealed corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Woodham: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Common problems we fix in Woodham

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Woodham. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Woodham

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
