Bath resealing near Hooley

How we handle bath resealing in Hooley

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Hooley

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hooley

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
