Bath resealing at your home in Kennington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Kennington

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do you work in Kennington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kennington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Kennington

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Kennington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

When to call us in Kennington

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Kennington contact us are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
