Bath resealing in West Brompton

About our bath resealing in West Brompton

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

West Brompton: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for West Brompton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in West Brompton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in West Brompton contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Brompton

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

For anyone letting property in or around West Brompton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
