About our bath resealing in Stepney
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Stepney
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Stepney, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Your questions about bath resealing in Stepney
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stepney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Stepney
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
