Bath resealing near Charlton

Bath resealing in Charlton without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Charlton

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Charlton?

We do. Technicians travel to Charlton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Charlton. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Charlton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
