Bath resealing at your home in Clapham Green
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What else we do in Clapham Green
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Clapham Green questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Clapham Green. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need bath resealing in Clapham Green
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

When a repair is not the answer

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Clapham Green. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
