Bath resealing for Upper Clapton homes

Bath resealing at your home in Upper Clapton

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Resealing in Upper Clapton: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Upper Clapton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Upper Clapton questions

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Upper Clapton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Clapton and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Letting agents frequently 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.
