Bath resealing in Newington Butts without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Newington Butts get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Questions from Newington Butts

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Newington Butts

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
