Bath resealing for Chingford Hatch homes

About our bath resealing in Chingford Hatch

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath resealing in Chingford Hatch?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not 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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chingford Hatch

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Chingford Hatch

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

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