Bath resealing in South Wimbledon, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Questions from South Wimbledon
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so South Wimbledon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in South Wimbledon
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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.
Why it’s worth resealing in South Wimbledon
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Wimbledon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in South Wimbledon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
