Bath resealing near Sutton

Bath resealing in Sutton, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath resealing in Sutton

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Landlord and trade work in Sutton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Sutton

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
