How we handle bath resealing in Walworth

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Walworth

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

Common problems we fix in Walworth

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath resealing in Walworth

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Walworth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
