Bath Resealing for West Kensington homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in West Kensington, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
About our bath resealing in West Kensington
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from West Kensington
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in West Kensington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Kensington and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Kensington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in West Kensington
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
