Need bath resealing in Pooley Street?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing at your home in Pooley Street

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Pooley Street

  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Pooley Street

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
