Bath resealing in Lewisham, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • 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.

Materials we work on in Lewisham

Your questions about bath resealing in Lewisham

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Lewisham included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lewisham?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lewisham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
