Bath resealing in Highbury

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing at your home in Highbury

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Highbury and across Greater London.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highbury

For anyone letting property in or around Highbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highbury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Highbury

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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.

Highbury: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

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

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
