Bath resealing in Harlington, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Harlington
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Harlington
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harlington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Harlington
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
