Bath resealing near Crystal Palace

How we handle bath resealing in Crystal Palace

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Crystal Palace

Do you cover Crystal Palace?

We do. We send a technician to Crystal Palace for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crystal Palace?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SE19 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Crystal Palace

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
