Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thames View Estate, Greater London
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Thames View Estate. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
About our bath resealing in Thames View Estate
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need bath resealing in Thames View Estate?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Thames View Estate: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thames View Estate?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you come to Thames View Estate?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
