What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Acton

A good reseal is all about preparation: 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. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, we can help.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Acton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Acton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Acton

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
