Bath resealing for Sydenham homes

Bath resealing in Sydenham without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

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

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Sydenham

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Signs you need bath resealing in Sydenham

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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