Your questions about bath resealing in Shepherd's Bush
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How we handle bath resealing in Shepherd's Bush
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shepherd's Bush
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shepherd's Bush
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 cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shepherd's Bush
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
