Your questions about bath resealing in St James's

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Resealing in St James's: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in St James's

For anyone letting property in or around St James's, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

When to call us in St James's

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

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

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

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