Bath resealing for Pimlico homes

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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 isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Pimlico, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pimlico and across Greater London.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pimlico

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Pimlico is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pimlico. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pimlico

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Pimlico, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
