Bath resealing in Westminster

Bath resealing in Westminster without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westminster

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Westminster. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Westminster

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Westminster

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
