Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bow, Greater London

- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Bow without replacing anything
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 technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bow and across Greater London.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Bow
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Bow?
We do. Technicians travel to Bow from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
