Bath resealing in Boreham Street without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
For a rural address like Boreham Street, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Boreham Street
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
If you let a flat or house near Normans Bay station (about 3.7 miles south), we repair baths and showers between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use. In a village or hamlet like Boreham Street, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 will come back with a fixed figure.
