Bath resealing in Addington without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Addington

We charge the same across the UK, including Addington. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Addington: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Addington

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME19 postcode.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When to call us in Addington

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
