Bath resealing in Woolwich

Common questions in Woolwich

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How we handle bath resealing in Woolwich

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woolwich and across Greater London.

What affects the price in Woolwich

There’s no charge for travel to Woolwich. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolwich as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath resealing in Woolwich?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
