Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Forest Hill, done in place
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. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forest Hill and across Greater London.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Forest Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Forest Hill. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Forest Hill: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Forest Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Forest Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
