Bath resealing near Hounslow

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle bath resealing in Hounslow

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 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.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Hounslow questions

Do you cover Hounslow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hounslow and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
