Bath resealing at your home in Downe
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Downe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Downe
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Why it’s worth resealing in Downe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Downe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Downe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you work in Downe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Downe and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Downe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
