Bath resealing in Stepney

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Stepney. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing in Stepney without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Stepney

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stepney as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Stepney, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Stepney

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When to call us in Stepney

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
