Bath Resealing for Barnes homes
Local bath resealing for Barnes: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
How we handle bath resealing in Barnes
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Barnes questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Barnes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Barnes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
If you are in Barnes and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
