Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Farthing Street, Greater London
Local bath resealing for Farthing Street: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Common questions in Farthing Street
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Farthing Street?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BR6 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
