About our bath resealing in Holywell Row
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Holywell Row
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP28 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Holywell Row
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Holywell Row, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
