Do you need bath resealing in South Bank?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Bath resealing at your home in South Bank
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in South Bank
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in South Bank
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to South Bank?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to South Bank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why it’s worth resealing in South Bank
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
