Bath resealing at your home in Canonmills
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Canonmills and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Canonmills. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Your questions about bath resealing in Canonmills
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Canonmills.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
