Bath resealing for Blackheath homes

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

How we handle bath resealing in Blackheath

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common questions in Blackheath

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Blackheath?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What we are called out for in Blackheath

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

How the visit 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. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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 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 pictures.
