Trusted bath resealing in 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 a new seal stops it. Whether it’s stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Southfields: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Southfields?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM16 postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Southfields?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southfields from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Southfields

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

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 normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
