Bath resealing at your home in Brixton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Brixton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Brixton.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Brixton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Getting a price from photos

Resealing in Brixton: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
