Bath resealing at your home in Kensal Rise
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Why it’s worth resealing in Kensal Rise
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kensal Rise. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Kensal Rise
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Kensal Rise and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kensal Rise.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Do you need bath resealing in Kensal Rise?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
