Bath Resealing across Greater London

How bath resealing works in Greater London

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Greater London. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Greater London

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
