Landlords, agents and businesses in South Acton
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath resealing at your home in South Acton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in South Acton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover the whole UK, including South Acton and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are there extra charges for South Acton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath resealing in South Acton
