Bath resealing in South Ruislip, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Your questions about bath resealing in South Ruislip
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
