Bath resealing near Rainham

Bath resealing in Rainham, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Common problems we fix in Rainham

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
