Bath resealing in Limmo Peninsula

Bath resealing at your home in Limmo Peninsula

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Limmo Peninsula questions

Do you come to Limmo Peninsula?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Limmo Peninsula and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Limmo Peninsula

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Resealing in Limmo Peninsula: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
