DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing in Southgate without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Southgate: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Southgate.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Southgate?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled

Resealing in Southgate: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
