Landlords, agents and businesses in Bankside

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Bankside and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Bankside

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bankside?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SE1 postcode.

Do you cover Bankside?

We do. We send a technician to Bankside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Do you need bath resealing in Bankside?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
