Bath resealing in Finsbury without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Finsbury, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Finsbury

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Finsbury clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our pricing.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Finsbury: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

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.

What we’re called out for in Finsbury

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
