We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps.

Bulwick questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bulwick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bulwick
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
