Bath resealing near City of London

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in City of London, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in City of London

We don’t charge extra for travel to City of London. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in City of London and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in City of London use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in City of London

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in City of London

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
