Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, with the joint fully dried first.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Becontree

Rental properties take more wear, 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 Becontree use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Becontree questions

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Becontree?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Becontree from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
