Bath resealing in Foster Street, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Foster Street

- Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Foster Street
For anyone letting property in or around Foster Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Foster Street questions
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Foster Street?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Foster Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Foster Street. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
