Bath resealing at your home in Baker Street
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Baker Street and across Thurrock.

Baker Street: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Baker Street
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Baker Street: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
