Bath resealing in Wallington without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Wallington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wallington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wallington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Wallington

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wallington?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG7 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Wallington?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
