How we handle bath resealing in Godolphin Cross

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Godolphin Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Godolphin Cross questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

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

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

Signs you need bath resealing in Godolphin Cross

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
