Bath resealing at your home in Bank End
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Bank End
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Bank End
What affects the price in Bank End
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
