Bath resealing for Clapton, without a refit. Get a fixed quote from your photos, then book a visit.
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
About our bath resealing in Clapton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Clapton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about bath resealing in Clapton
How much does bath resealing cost in Clapton?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG17 postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What else we do in Clapton
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Clapton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
