Bath resealing in Hornchurch Marshes without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hornchurch Marshes and across Greater London.

Do you need bath resealing in Hornchurch Marshes?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Hornchurch Marshes: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover Hornchurch Marshes?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hornchurch Marshes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
