What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a job in Barnes, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

About our bathroom resealing in Barnes
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water getting behind the bath panel.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Barnes, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Barnes?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Barnes homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
As a London address, Barnes can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to Barnes Methodist Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

FAQs for Barnes
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnes Bridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Barnes cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you cover Barnes?
Yes, we do. Barnes is part of the area we cover.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Barnes?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
