Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shadwell, Greater London
We travel to Shadwell for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
