How we handle bath resealing in Leytonstone

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Leytonstone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Leytonstone

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 usually cheaper.

Common questions in Leytonstone

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are there extra charges for Leytonstone?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
