Bath resealing in St Giles, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath resealing in St Giles?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in St Giles
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common questions in St Giles
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
