Bath resealing in Gipsy Hill

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Bath resealing in Gipsy Hill without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Gipsy Hill questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Do you need bath resealing in Gipsy Hill?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
