Bath resealing for Woodford homes

About our bath resealing in Woodford

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Woodford

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Woodford

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Woodford

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • 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 price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Woodford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
