Bath resealing in Chingford Mount

Bath resealing in Chingford Mount without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath resealing in Chingford Mount

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long before I can shower?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Chingford Mount?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Chingford Mount

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
