Trusted bath resealing in Havering-atte-Bower

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing in Havering-atte-Bower without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Havering-atte-Bower, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Havering-atte-Bower as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Havering-atte-Bower

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you work in Havering-atte-Bower?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Havering-atte-Bower from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Havering-atte-Bower, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
