Bath resealing in Barbican Estate, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barbican Estate and across Greater London.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Barbican Estate
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Barbican Estate
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Barbican Estate: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work in Barbican Estate?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Barbican Estate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath resealing cost in Barbican Estate?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
