Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Addiscombe, Greater London
Our technicians come to Addiscombe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing at your home in Addiscombe
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Addiscombe as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Addiscombe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath resealing in Addiscombe
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you work in Addiscombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Addiscombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
