Bath resealing at your home in Richmond

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Richmond questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we are called out for in Richmond

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
