Need bath resealing in Bickley?

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath resealing in Bickley without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bickley

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Bickley

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, so Bickley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
