How we handle bath resealing in Hackbridge

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Hackbridge questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Hackbridge

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Hackbridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Hackbridge

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
