Bath resealing in Avery Hill

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Bath resealing at your home in Avery Hill

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, 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 to call us in Avery Hill

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Avery Hill

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Avery Hill

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
