Bath Resealing for Hornsey homes
Bath resealing across Hornsey and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath resealing in Hornsey
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Questions from Hornsey
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does bath resealing cost in Hornsey?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your N8 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath resealing in Hornsey
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Hornsey. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, 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 to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Hornsey, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
