Bath resealing near Leavesden

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing in Leavesden, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Leavesden

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Leavesden

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Leavesden questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WD25 postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
