Bath resealing near Southfields

How we handle bath resealing in Southfields

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Southfields

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Southfields?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Southfields

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Southfields included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work in Southfields?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Southfields and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Southfields, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
