About our bath resealing in East Sheen

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Signs you need bath resealing in East Sheen

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

East Sheen questions

Are you accredited?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to East Sheen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Sheen and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run 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.

What affects the price in East Sheen

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
