About our bath resealing in Barkingside
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barkingside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Barkingside
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
