Bath resealing in Whitechapel, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Whitechapel
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Whitechapel
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Whitechapel?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whitechapel and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When to call us in Whitechapel
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
