Bath resealing in Brompton

Bath resealing in Brompton, done in place

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, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Brompton

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Brompton

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

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

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Brompton. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Brompton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
