Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Teddington, Greater London
Bath resealing in and around Teddington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
How we handle bath resealing in Teddington
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

What else we do in Teddington
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Teddington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Teddington
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Questions from Teddington
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
