Bath resealing for Kilburn homes

Bath resealing in Kilburn, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Kilburn

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Kilburn contact us are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Kilburn

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Kilburn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
