Bath resealing in Maida Vale

What we’re called out for in Maida Vale

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

About our bath resealing in Maida Vale

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Maida Vale

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Maida Vale

We don’t charge extra for travel to Maida Vale. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
