Trusted bath resealing in Amwell

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Amwell

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Amwell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Amwell

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Amwell

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Amwell customers choose us

Signs you need bath resealing in Amwell

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

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

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
