Bath resealing in Coombe, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Coombe
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What we are called out for in Coombe
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Coombe contact us are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Resealing in Coombe: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
