How we handle bath resealing in Inner Avenue

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Inner Avenue. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Inner Avenue

For anyone letting property in or around Inner Avenue, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Inner Avenue

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Inner Avenue. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath resealing in Inner Avenue?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
