Bath Resealing in Houses Hill
Our technicians come to Houses Hill for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Houses Hill without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
FAQs for Houses Hill
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Houses Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Houses Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Houses Hill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
