Bath resealing near Westminster

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing in Westminster without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Westminster

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damp near the bath

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westminster, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Westminster: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
