Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Forest Gate, Greater London
Our technicians come to Forest Gate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing in Forest Gate without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Forest Gate questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Forest Gate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Forest Gate
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath resealing in Forest Gate?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
