Trusted bath resealing in New Herrington

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

About our bath resealing in New Herrington

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Herrington as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

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, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about bath resealing in New Herrington

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH4 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to New Herrington. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
