Landlord and commercial work in Aldgate
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Bathroom resealing in Aldgate
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you are dealing with two layers of silicone, both failing and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Aldgate
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Bathroom resealing around Aldgate
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Aldgate is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around St James Duke's Place, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aldgate: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Aldgate?
Parking in Aldgate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Aldgate?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
What we’re called out for in Aldgate
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Schools such as The Aldgate School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a London area like Aldgate, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Aldgate.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
