Bathrooms and kitchens in Arnos Grove
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For landlords with property near New Southgate station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Bowes Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our bathroom resealing in Arnos Grove
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you are dealing with damp behind the bath or under the tray and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Arnos Grove, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Arnos Grove?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
As a London address, Arnos Grove can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Arnos Grove. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Questions from Arnos Grove
I live in a flat in Arnos Grove. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
I let a flat near New Southgate station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the quote in Arnos Grove
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
