Bath resealing in Aldwych, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Aldwych

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Aldwych

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

Common reasons people in Aldwych contact us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
