Bath resealing near West End

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath resealing in West End, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

For a price in West End, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in West End

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in West End, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

West End questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT6 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
