Bath resealing in St Paul's Cray

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath resealing in St Paul's Cray, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in St Paul's Cray: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

St Paul's Cray: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you come to St Paul's Cray?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to St Paul's Cray. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need bath resealing in St Paul's Cray?

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

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
