Bath resealing in Balham, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Balham
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Balham
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Balham contact us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Balham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Resealing in Balham: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
