How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

FAQs for Plaistow
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
