About our bath resealing in East Village
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around East Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in East Village
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in East Village contact us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles

East Village questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How soon can you come?
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 redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
