Bath Resealing for Startop's End homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Startop's End and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath resealing in Startop's End, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Startop's End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
