Bath resealing in Walthamstow Village

Bath resealing in Walthamstow Village, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Walthamstow Village

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in Walthamstow Village

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Walthamstow Village. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
