Bath resealing for Mortlake homes

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Bath resealing at your home in Mortlake

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure 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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Questions from Mortlake

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Mortlake?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Are there extra charges for Mortlake?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Mortlake

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Mortlake

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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