Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kensal Town, Greater London
Bath resealing across Kensal Town and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
How we handle bath resealing in Kensal Town
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Kensal Town
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover the entire UK, including Kensal Town and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
