What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Bath resealing at your home in The Street
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and leaks at the edges, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in The Street
What affects the price in The Street
We do not charge extra for travel to The Street. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we are called out for in The Street
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty

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
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
