Bath resealing in Islington

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Islington without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Islington

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

For a price in Islington, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need bath resealing in Islington?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Islington questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Islington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Islington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
