Bath resealing in Eel Pie Island without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Do you need bath resealing in Eel Pie Island?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Eel Pie Island, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Resealing in Eel Pie Island: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

FAQs for Eel Pie Island

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
