About our bath resealing in Farringdon
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Advice
Places near Farringdon
What else we do in Farringdon
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Farringdon
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Materials we work on in Farringdon
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
