Bath resealing at your home in Acton

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Acton and across Cheshire East.

FAQs for Acton

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Acton: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Acton clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Acton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price
