Bath resealing in Romney Street, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Romney Street

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Romney Street. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Common questions in Romney Street

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Romney Street.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

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.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Romney Street?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
