Bath resealing for Clapham homes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

About our bath resealing in Clapham

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles 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, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath resealing in Clapham?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Clapham: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Landlord and trade work in Clapham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 affects the price in Clapham

There is no charge for travel to Clapham. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
