Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Paddington
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Paddington
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Paddington. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.

Related advice
Paddington: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Paddington. Prices do not change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What we are called out for in Paddington
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Paddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
