Bath resealing in Walworth Gate

About our bath resealing in Walworth Gate

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Walworth Gate

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Walworth Gate

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Walworth Gate

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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