Bath resealing in Plaistow without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Plaistow
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Plaistow: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Signs you need bath resealing in Plaistow
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
