Bath resealing in Battlesea Green without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Battlesea Green
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Battlesea Green?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP21 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What affects the price in Battlesea Green
There is no area surcharge for Battlesea Green. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Battlesea Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Battlesea Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
