Bath resealing in South Kensington, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Kensington as everywhere else we work.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why South Kensington customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

South Kensington: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

How much does bath resealing cost in South Kensington?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so South Kensington is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in South Kensington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Kensington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in South Kensington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in South Kensington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in South Kensington

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
