Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Bishopsgate without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Stained silicone

How to compare quotes

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

Bishopsgate: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bishopsgate.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bishopsgate?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in Bishopsgate

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
