How we handle bath resealing in Southgate

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Southgate

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

FAQs for Southgate

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does bath resealing cost in Southgate?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA3 postcode.

Why it’s worth resealing in Southgate

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
