Bath resealing for Clapham homes

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

Bath resealing at your home in Clapham

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

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.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Clapham. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clapham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Clapham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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.
