Bath resealing in Shooter's Hill without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Shooter's Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does bath resealing cost in Shooter's Hill?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shooter's Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
