About our bath resealing in Redbridge
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for Redbridge
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Redbridge is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
