Bath Resealing for East Compton homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in East Compton and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Bath resealing in East Compton, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in East Compton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
East Compton: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
