Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Southgate, Greater London
Bath resealing in and around Southgate: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Southgate
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath resealing in Southgate
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover the entire UK, including Southgate and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Southgate?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you work in Southgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Southgate and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in Southgate
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
