How we handle bath resealing in Abbey Wood

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Abbey Wood

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, so Abbey Wood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE2 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Abbey Wood

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

Common problems we fix in Abbey Wood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

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

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

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 tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for 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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
