Bath resealing at your home in Royal Docks
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Royal Docks and across Greater London.

Common questions in Royal Docks
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Royal Docks included. Travel is included in the price.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Royal Docks?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Royal Docks for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Signs you need bath resealing in Royal Docks
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone

- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Royal Docks. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Resealing in Royal Docks: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Royal Docks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
