Bathroom Resealing in Bermondsey
Baths, showers and worktops in Bermondsey need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a London area like Bermondsey, 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How we handle bathroom resealing in Bermondsey
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have leaking joints on a shower screen and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Bermondsey, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Bermondsey
Could a tired shower seal in my Bermondsey flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bermondsey?
Parking in Bermondsey, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
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 you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Bermondsey
London has hard water, 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, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
If you live in an older home near St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. As a London address, Bermondsey can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Landlord and commercial work in Bermondsey
Letting agents and landlords in Bermondsey can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When to call us in Bermondsey
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Schools such as Boutcher Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What else we do in Bermondsey
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
