All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Barking Riverside questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Why it’s worth resealing in Barking Riverside
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Barking Riverside customers choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Barking Riverside

People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
