Bath resealing in Little Ilford

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing at your home in Little Ilford

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Ilford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Ilford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Ilford

Do you work in Little Ilford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Ilford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Little Ilford: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
