Bath resealing in East Barnet

How we handle bath resealing in East Barnet

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we’re called out for in East Barnet

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in East Barnet

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in East Barnet

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Barnet 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. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
