Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Bath resealing in North Finchley without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Resealing in North Finchley: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in North Finchley?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
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 shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
North Finchley questions
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
