DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Why it’s worth resealing in Anerley

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Anerley questions

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath resealing in Anerley?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
