- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in North Ockendon
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in North Ockendon
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Common problems we fix in North Ockendon
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Common questions in North Ockendon
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including North Ockendon and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Ockendon.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare

- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
