Bath resealing at your home in Kilburn

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Kilburn

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Kilburn

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Kilburn

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Kilburn

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilburn

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilburn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
